This is the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max. It has a main camera with an innovative 200 megapixel sensor, plus a couple of other 200 megapixel cameras. Why not? And on top of that, it's got some of the best battery life in town. It looks like this could be the Pro Max to beat, but we did find one major flaw that you should be aware of. Let's get into all of that and more in our full review. A Pro Max from OPPO, that's a new development. And don't get it confused with their Ultra model. This is actually the successor to the Find X9 Pro. They just call it Pro Max this time around.
The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max features a 144Hz display, a huge 8,000 mAh battery, a powerful MediaTek chipset, and those unique triple cameras. You actually get two camera bumps. The second one houses the True Tone sensor and the flash. We have the Luna white color, which features a subtle stripe pattern on it. But interestingly, this surface doesn't feel any different than the non-pattern part. You can also get the FindX 10 Pro Max in titanium gray. The orange one won't be coming out of China. I love that white color here, but let me know which one you prefer down in the comments. On the sides, you get a flat frame, anodized aluminum. It's nice and easy to grip. And despite the large
battery, the phone is actually lighter than the iPhone 18 Pro Max. On the side, there's a hardware button called the snap key, which can be used to put the phone on silent, or you can assign it to a number of other different functions and settings. But while the previous model had a dedicated key for controlling the cameras as well, OPPO has done away with that. There is solid ingress protection here, on top of the IP68 protection against dust and water submersion. It's IP69 against jets of heated water. Notably, the phone's ultrasonic fingerprint reader comes with a so-called splash touch feature, which means it will work even if the screen is wet.
Speaking of that screen is a 6.78 in OLED with a high resolution and this time around a higher 144 hertz refresh rate. The 144 hertz is reserved for select supported games to make gameplay even smoother. But at least in Call of Duty, the graphics will turn down if you enable this 144 hertz mode. Still, this is a welcome development. In the previous model, there was no support for high frame rate gaming at all. Outside of games, you'll cap out at 120 hertz to smooth out swiping and scrolling. And thanks to LTPO tech, this can adjust itself dynamically to as low as one hertz to save energy. The panel is plenty bright, too. We measured over 1,000 nits maximum in auto mode, which could go up to over 2300 nits in
scenarios like the phone's gallery and over 3,400 nits peak brightness when measuring a small section of the screen. There's no anti-glare coating here, but still, it's enough for very good usability outdoors. Another interesting bit about this display is the bezels. They measure just 1.15 mm thick, making them some of the thinnest in the industry. And you get support for HDR10 Plus and Dolby Vision playback here, too. But one area in which the Find X10 Pro Max didn't impress us is the speaker quality. There is a set of stereo speakers, but in our tests, they earn a loudness score of just average. Also, the sound quality is far from ideal. Tracks sound flat and
lacking in bass. Let's have a listen. Absolute beginners came to George Town and throw you in the gut. It's not a great showing for a phone at this price. Competitors like the S26 Ultra or even last year's OPPO was do better. There are no such surprises when it comes to the performance though. The Find X10 Pro Max uses the cuttingedge Demenity 9600 Pro from MediaTek. It's the company's first 2nm silicon using next-gen CPU and GPU designs, and it's also supposed to be more efficient and powerful when it comes to AI related tasks. In benchmarks, the Find X10 Pro Max does a great job topping what we saw from the previous model and even outperforming Qualcomm's Snap Grenade Elite Gen 5 in some scenarios. Not all
of them though, so we wouldn't say this is the top dog, but it's still up there with the best. It's more than enough power for heavy gaming, or at least to make your everyday doom scrolling as snappy as possible. Sustained performance is as you might expect from one of these high-powered phones. In our prolonged stress test, we saw heavy throttling down to about half of the peak performance. The interface of the phone is OPPO's Color OS 17 running on top of Android 17. It features something called living flow design with translucent elements in the bubble-like panels. It really brings to mind iOS's liquid glass. Color OS
also packs a suite of AI based tools and features. A new addition here is the AI agent, a chatbot which combines Gemini, Perplexity, and Chat GPT models into one interface. It can do things like search through and organize files and photos on the phone itself, or plan an itinerary for a trip. And of course, you get the functionality you'd expect from those models, too. The AI agent can also connect to the Mind Space. It's a smart clipboard where you can save various stuff throughout your day like notes and screenshots. And it's easy to add a screenshot or voice note to it, especially if you assign that function to the hardware button. Now, let's get into the battery life. And trust me,
this OPPO is appeased. The Global Find X10 Pro Max boasts an 8,000 mAh battery, but European consumers get the short end of the stick at 7,150 mAh. We have the Global version here, and the battery life is incredible. In our battery life test, the phone earned an overall active use score of about 25 1/2 hours. It's one of the best scores we've ever seen on this channel. It handily beats the other top camera phones and basically everyone else for that matter. The X10 Pro Max supports 80 W SuperVoke charging when paired with a compatible charger or 55 watt power delivery charging. Even with the SuperVoke 1, the phone is far from speedy when topping up. We charged to only 52% in half an hour and a full
charge took an hour and 10 minutes. But while that's slower than the competition, since the battery life itself is better, you shouldn't have to top up as much during the day. There's also support for up to 50 watt wireless charging. There are magnets in the phone for alignment, though they aren't that strong. But you can also get a magnetic case. Now, let's see what's in the box. We get the phone itself. There's also a matching color soft touch silicone case. There's the reading materials, and since we got the global unit, the box includes an 80 W SuperVoke charger. You won't get this in Europe. There's the USBA to USBC
cable for data transfer and charging and a SIM tool. But that's not the only box we got. There's also the additional teleconverter camera kit sold separately. It comes in a huge package, a big box full of a bunch of little boxes inside. The first one contains the main attachment. It's a lens that provides 10 times optical zoom when combined with the native zoom camera. The next box contains a special case. It has a space for a small metal plate to slide in. This is where the lens will attach. Another box holds a bracket with a tripod mount. There's a box with a bag made of what feels like leather and a
lanyard which feels pretty heavy duty. And finally, some paperwork. And here is how it looks with it all assembled. Of course, it adds quite a bit of bulk and weight, but no worries. We headed outside to see what we could capture with this teleconverter and without The rear cameras themselves include a main cam with a new sensor, a threex zoom camera, and an ultrawide. And they're all at 200 megapixels, which is a first for a smartphone. The main camera sensor is cutting edge. It's called the ISO Cell HPC, and it uses something called Deep Pix technology.
Long story short, it's a new pixel structure which allows each pixel more capacity for absorbing light before becoming saturated. The result is wider dynamic range in general. They claim 17 stops worth as well as the capability for single frame HDR. Smartphones generally have to stack a bunch of images to produce their HDR. So, the HDR effect built from a single frame should be way cleaner. The phone's camera interface overall feels quite quick and snappy. You can customize the order of the menus on the side, and they include a proo mode called master. It gives you a bunch of controls, filters to choose from, and the option to shoot in RAW, as well as a high-res RAW mode. There's
focus peaking and a waveform, too. And there's a pro video mode, which also gives you those controls, filters, and monitoring options. It allows for shooting in log. And there are multiple lookup tables you can choose from. You can also shoot in open gate mode which uses the whole sensor to produce a 4x3 clip which you can then crop for either 16x9 or 9x6 vertical format. Now let's get into the quality of stills starting with the main cam. Daylight shots come out at 26 megapixels by default and they indeed have excellent dynamic range with wellpreserved highlights and developed shadows. Colors
are well saturated and pleasant too. But while there is plenty of detail, it comes out a bit softer than expected, particularly when pixel peeping on finer things like grass and foliage. Somehow, it seems that if you switch to the 12.6 megapixel shooting mode, the results come out a bit sharper. The portrait mode output is fixed at 12.6 and its pixels look more to the point. The bokeh effect is looking great, too. The 26 megapixel two time zoom photos have good detail, though they are quite prone to showing jaggies. In contrast, at 26 megapixels, three time zoom photos from the telephoto cam are excellent. We'd say their detail rendition in high resolution mode is
quite sharp and superior to that of the main cam. Of course, dynamic range is excellent. The white balance is reliable, and colors have just the right level of pop. And shots of people with a zoom camera are awesome, too. Even at 26 megapixels, they have super sharp facial detail. Plus, there's pretty decent optical background blur, and there's lovely skin tones and excellent dynamic range. As for portrait mode at three times, these photos once again come out at 12.6 megapixels. The separation is excellent, flawless most of the time. And notably, these zoomed portraits are the default when you first switch to the portrait mode at all. The ultra wide default 26 megapixel photos are great.
The images do have excellent sharpness as far as ultra wides go, and detail is rendered reasonably well. Colors and dynamic range are top class, too. When shooting at night, the Find X10 Pro Max will happily use this night mode for processing, and such shots will come out at 12.6 megapixels. These photos from the main cam are excellent with great contrast and wide dynamic range with well-developed tonal extremes. Saturation is likable and detail is generally very good, but in rare situations, you can end up with some softness in brighter areas. You'll have to look for it to see it, though.
Nighttime shots from the telephoto are properly nice. They're packed with detail, and it's rendered in a reasonably natural, if a bit gritty fashion. Dynamic range is excellent. Contrast is great, and colors maintain the vibrant look you get from the main cam. The ultrawide camera does an excellent job in low light as well. We're getting very good detail, expressive colors, and wide dynamic range. It's hard to complain. Selfies come from a 50 megapel front-facing camera, which has autofocus. They have a wide native field of view and capture excellent detail. Skin tones are just
right. Saturation is great overall, and dynamic range is plenty wide. The Find X10 Pro Max has a wide-ranging feature set for video recording with a ton of resolution and frame rate options in 4K at up to 120 fps and 8K at 30 fps on all three rear cameras. Video quality overall is quite good, but we were hoping for a bit more to be honest. The main camera's detail is on a level we'd say is very good, but not excellent. The same could be said for the three times telephoto cam. The ultrawide is respectable for this sort of camera, and all three rear cameras will get you well-matched output with vibrant colors, excellent dynamic range, and great contrast.
The video quality at night is class leading from all of the cameras. We're quite impressed by the dynamic range here, and even the video sharpness is better than what the competition can muster, and the ultrawide is in a league of its own. So, that's the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max. It's all around quite the premium device, bringing a full suite of flagship grade features, plus unique cameras that you won't find anywhere else. I'll just show myself out. That said, this phone is not without its flaws. The speaker quality isn't that great. And despite that impressive hardware, the main cam sharpness clearly could be better at the native 26 megapixel output. And another thing worth mentioning is the price. This is
one of the most expensive phones on the market at launch with a price tag in the ballpark of 1,800 bucks. But still, in the end, this is a top class camera phone with killer battery life. And if that's what you're after, this Pro Max could be worth considering. Let's get into some alternatives. Starting with Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra. It's much cheaper at this point and packs features like a stylus and a privacy display, faster charging, and better speakers. However, the cameras aren't as cutting edge, and the battery life is not in the same league. And then there's the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. It's again much cheaper. His speakers are better and his cameras are on the same playing field as the Oppos.
Its battery life is not quite as good, though. Thanks for watching, guys. We'll be checking out a few other Pro Max phones that are coming out quite soon, so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss those. Let us know what you think down below and I'll see you on the next
